A Wilmington man has been arrested and charged with six counts each of insurance fraud, obtaining property by false pretense and corporate malfeasance.
Gregory Steven Gurney, 49, of 5418½ Park Ave., was also charged Tuesday with three counts of altering or forging certificates of title or applications, and one count each of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and transferring a stolen motor vehicle.
N.C. Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin announced the charges Wednesday.
The charges are the result of an ongoing two-year investigation by the Department of Insurance, the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles License and Theft Bureau, the N.C. Banking Commission, the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office and the Wilmington Police Department.
Investigators allege that Gurney, while working as branch manager of Time Financing Service in Wilmington, was involved with filing false or exaggerated claims on repossessed vehicles, vehicle title irregularities and the possession of a stolen vehicle.
Gurney was placed under a $5,000 unsecured bond and released.
